Liverpool Among Favourites to Win Champions League
Liverpool have an excellent track record in the European Cup under Jurgen Klopp. They have landed one Champions League title and also reached two finals, being beaten by Real Madrid on both occasions. Last season, they were strong favourites to win the Paris final, and it's likely they will end up at the business end of the tournament again this time around.
The passionate home crowd at Anfield will always give them a potential advantage over opponents in knockout European football, although there are now so many dangers lurking both domestically and in Europe. Bayern Munich and PSG will expect to give a better account of themselves, while Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham could also be dangerous.
Liverpool remain among the favourites to win the Champions League although the Reds are likely to finish second behind Napoli in their group, and that could mean a tricky last-16 clash against one of the section winners. At least they are guaranteed to avoid an English opponent until the last-eight phase.
Can Liverpool Land Cup Treble This Season?
There's no doubt Liverpool are effective as a team in the cup competitions, with William Hill making them a 250/1 chance to secure the Champions League title along with the two domestic pots. When it came to the latter, they were able to win both Wembley finals although the fact that both were penalty shootout wins over Chelsea suggests things were a bit close for comfort.
Liverpool have achieved two trebles during their long and illustrious history although neither comprised the Premier League, FA Cup and European Cup. In the 1983-84 campaign, Bob Paisley engineered a domestic league and European Cup success along with the League Cup.
Similarly, the late Gerard Houllier steered the Reds to a treble victory in the 2000/01 season when landing the domestic cups along with UEFA Cup success.
Liverpool 3/10 Not to Win a Major Trophy
Bookmaker William Hill has 3/10 that Liverpool miss out on silverware this season, and it's easy enough to see this happening. While the Reds landed the FA Cup and EFL Cup last season, a penalty shootout against Chelsea could have gone either way on both occasions.
When it comes to the Premier League title, Manchester City are odds-on to become champions. They have won four of the past five titles and the cup competitions naturally come down to the draw, with Klopp committed to fielding an inexperienced team during the early rounds of the EFL Cup and FA Cup which makes them vulnerable.
